OF “TIRES : ALWAYS: LEAKY’ (ity Associated Press) AKRON, O., April 15.—The dif- fusion constant explains why a tire has to be filled more often in summer than in winter. This constant is the rate at which air leaks through rubber. W. F. Busse, of the physical re- search laboratory of the B. F. Goodrich company, says that in temperatures below freezing an average tube will lose 18 cubic inches in 24 hours by this form of leakage. At temperatures from 30 to 86, the loss is six times as great. Above 100 degrees the loss runs about 16 times higher than | for freezing. There is no effective remedy for diffusion. Even a solid metal tube would lose a little by diffusion. Not enough to be noticed, but to illustrate the dificulty of stopping this kind of loss. | Because of diffusion, air that has been in a tire a long time, ‘out three times faster than nitro- gen. As air is 99 per cent oxygen and nitrogen,’ the oxygen gets! very low when tires are not _pumped up often enough WHAT'S NEW? It is reported from China that motor fuel has been produced from soybean oil. A push-button type of tele- phone has been developed. This is an improvement on the dial system in speeding up calls. Simple and inexpensive, an anti-theft locking device has been devised for automobile license plates. ver victims by A e for hay nced by a leath-ray” fmachine for e corpgscles in the f lujémia has been the\ University of Anew“ Tlinois.

More than four million dollars was added to the fifty million bet last season, the report shows, and the attendance was also consider- ably larger than that of last sea- son. The figures released show that Florida received a total of $1,- 969, in taxes from the racing plants this season compared to $1,810,231 for the preceeding sea- son; an increase of $159,231. Expenses of supervision this season were $199,595 as compared with the $217,971 cost last season: a decrease of $18,376. Summing up the whole matter, Florida’s 67 counties, will each re- ceive a total of $26,250 track rev- enue this season as compared with the $24,000 received last sea- yaw’ S000 GOD. Officials attribute the increase in revenue from racing sources to which is shown by the consider- the inerease in the tourist trade able jump in amount of gasoline consumption as disclosed by of- ficial reports. This proof of the value of the Florida National Exhibits at Chi- cago and Cleveland in attracting tourists to the state is encourag- ing to those forward-looking citi- zens who are promoting the Flor- ida Exhibit at New York World’s Fair to be held next year.
